Selling my Rect-O-Verb 50 combo for a small stack, I plan on running a head with a recto 2x12 V30 cab, and was thinking of a stiletto deuce or trident head? I play a lot of hard rock/metal stuff, and a little blues, which one would better suit me? It's either a stiletto head, a Mark IV or a...

bump

hey man, sorry I forgot all about the thread. Yea come back and see me, hopefully we can work something out 8)

Hey guys sorry, been doing the christmas thing. Anyways, yes I bought the amp brand new and yes I still have the original tubes in it. I think I bought it in feb or march. I honestly don't know if anything's mechanically wrong with it, but I thought if a tube was going bad, you would hear...

bump, anyone?

I'm in modern mode, the distortion really isn't that loud, but for some reason, when I cut on the TS9, it almost sounds like the sound is muffled, and I get no crunch, it almost sounds like it's on the vintage channel.

well tried everything with the TS9, definitely not the sound I'm looking for. Also, here's a pic of my settings......

Testing the waters to see if anyone's interested in my amp. I bought it new about 8 months ago and has never left my house, DEAD MINT! Still has the original tubes and comes with slip cover and footswitch. Only reason I want to get rid of it is because I want to try out a Mark IV. $1000...

Sorry for my laziness, plus it's a lot of pages to read through, but what do people mean when they say that have a Mark IV green or Mark IV red? Does it have something to do with the a and b versions?

none taken :D . I changed the battery out last month. I don't know if something was wrong with the hotplate, but I returned it because I couldn't get any response from the line out knob or the dB switch on the right, so I thought it was defective. They only had the TS-808 and the TS9, wasn't...

just want a good, dirty distortion, but at a reasonable volume. To be honest I really can't describe the ideal tone, but if I hear and I like then it's good. I guess it would be deep and crunchy, nice low end, not too trebly, is that good? I like the sound that the hotplate made, but I paid...

So you run the OD pedal on the dirty channel, turn the gain all the way down and adjust the volume I should get a reasonable volume out of the amp with nice, crunchy distortion?

hooked up the hotplate, definitely sounds better then the distortion pedal. But now everyone's got me thinking, should I take it back and get a OD pedal? And the OD will give me the crunchy distortion I'm looking for at low volumes? Should I take the hotplate back and go for the OD pedal?

well I actually picked up a hotplate tonight, but it's too late (finace's asleep) so tomorrow I'm gonna hook it up and see how it works. What's a good OD to use? There was a used TS9 at GC for $100, would that work? And using it on the dirty channel won't damage anything?

Thanks guys, what does everyone think of the hot plate for my dilemma? Will it help out with the sound at low volumes? Which one will work?

well the distortion was soooo loud in the room, I had to get something to quiet down, so I got the pedal, until I just read on here about a attenuator, so I'm trying to figure out what one will work for the rectoverb, any ideas?

Thanks for the reply man, so the 6l6's are what come in them orignally? I've also read that a few people recommend changing them out for a el34. Any other comments? How long do tubes usually last? This is my first tube amp that I've kept in a long time so I'm not too sharp on the upkeep of...

Hey what's up guys, I'm new, just found out about this site from another board. I've owned a few Mesa stuff, first was a F30, sweet little amp man, had tones of power for it's size, but didn't really dig the distortion it had. Picked up the rectoverb, and have had it for about a year, and I...
